Frequently asked questions about bitten.dot

As a bank or credit union, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

What proof does NicNames need to grant me priority on bitten.dot?

To grant trademark priority on bitten.dot, NicNames needs a valid TMCH SMD file whose encoded mark matches the bitten.dot string. The SMD is your cryptographic proof of validated trademark rights. No SMD means no priority claim is possible for bitten.dot. Submit your proof at https://domain.pay/register.

As an ecommerce brand, what does it mean if a .PAY name is premium?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

How does impersonation on bitten.dot differ from email spoofing?

Email spoofing fakes a sender, while controlling bitten.dot lets an attacker run a whole fraudulent payment site under the real bitten.dot name. The domain-level attack is harder to detect and more convincing, so denying it by owning bitten.dot is a high-value protection for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register
